Condo project
plan

Fort Erie’s councillors
want to see a plan put in
place for the future devel¬
opment of Bay Beach.

During a council-in-com-
mittee meeting on May 4
a recommendation from
Town staff was approved to
hire Planning Partnership,
a Toronto-based firm, at a
cost of $100,000 to develop
the Bay Beach Master Plan.
Ward 5 Coun. Don Lub-
berts didn’t support the rec¬
ommendation and said he
voted against it because of a
potential conflict of interest.
A partner with the firm was
involved with planning a
12-storey condominium pro¬
ject. The Molinaro Group,
a Burlington-based devel¬
oper, spent years planning
a controversial condo pro¬
ject in the Bay Beach area
but scrapped the project at
the last minute in 2013.

a lawsuit last year against
the town and its council¬
lors seeking damage.

Ed Lustig, the Town’s law¬
yer said the conflict of inter¬
est has been reviewed and
the firm’s employee, who was
involved with planning the
condominium project will not
be involved in the develop¬
ment of the new master plan.

Ignorance might be contagious when it comes to sex ed

L et’s talk about sex... or
maybe not.

Yes it’s awkward and yes it
can be uncomfortable to talk
about sex especially with your
kids, but can someone please
explain to me why parents are
taking their children out of
school in protest to the new
sexual education curriculum
proposed for Ontario?

A Facebook group called
Parents and Students on
Strike: one week no school is
encouraging parents to keep
their children out of school this
week to try and stop Ontario’s
new sex-ed curriculum. Who
exactly are they punishing here
or proving a point to?

Taking your kids out of
school for a week only means
they will miss lessons and have
to catch up on work regardless
of your cause or your beliefs.

For some reason, I have a
feeling these same parents
would be up in arms if

Special to The Times

Annie Pasquariello

their children were missing a
week of school. These may be
the same parents who had no
idea their child was sexting,
or talking about oral sex at
the playground with fellow

I learned about sexual
education more than 20 years
ago, about the same time the
curriculum was updated.

In Ontario, the curriculum
has not been updated since
1998. A lot has changed since
then, not only because we
are in the digital age, but
because we (most of us) have
become more educated and
accepting to the Lesbian Gay

Bisexual Transgender (LGBT)
community. Although I don't
always agree with Premier
Kathleen Wynne’s decisions
for the province, I cannot get
over the outright hate and
homophobic comments I have
read online about her and the
new curriculum.

Don’t worry people, you
can't be taught gay or catch
it. I think ignorance might be
contagious though.

Some parents think
the curriculum is not age
appropriate. What is age
appropriate? We live in a highly

by images of sex and yet we
don't want students to learn
about body parts. We let our
children play on computers and
tablets, where it is very easy to
find out about sex or probably
even watch a video that is
nowhere near reality, yet do not
want them to know facts or get

What is wrong with updating

the curriculum to leant about
the concept of consent, gender
identity, sexually transmitted
infections, the perils of online
bullying and the dangers
of sharing sexually explicit
images electronically?

What I've read is that most
of the objections come from
religious groups who claim the
curriculum doesn't align with
their values and parents who
have accused the government
of failing to allow them enough
input into the development of
the new curriculum.

Well it seems parents'
input would be waiting until
students are in high school and
only talk about sex between a
man and a woman and maybe
teen pregnancy.

No matter what religion
you are, sex is a part of life.
Although we like to believe
that children are innocent
and remain abstinent, they
aren’t. The new curriculum
is teaching them facts so they

can be safe and make better
decisions.

Although cliche, knowledge
is power. I would rather live
in a society where teenagers
are aware that, yes, you can
contract diseases from anal sex
and oral sex and young girls
and boys realize what consent
truly means.

Maybe some parents do
talk to their children at home
about sex and feel they know
when it is the appropriate time
to do so. But kids also hide a lot
from their parents and sex isn't
the easiest thing to bring up at
the dinner table.

making ridiculous comments
online, parents do have
the right to withdraw their
kids from all or part of the
new curriculum if they're
uncomfortable with its
content. It's that easy.

A dandelion is a dandelion is a coltsfoot

I he late Bert Miller intro-
JL duced us to this spring
flowering plant. As Bert often
did he asked questions of us.
“What do you see?” My answer
was simple. " A dandelion.” He
replied, "Look at their stems.”
Not a dandelion.

Coltsfoot

Bert plucked one. There was n

little leaf-likes were attached to the
coltsfoot stem. Otherwise first
glance—dandelions.

Bert Miller knew a lot about the
medicinal values of our native
plants. As we looked at the colts¬
foot plant I recall him saying a
word that sounded like pertussis.’
He told us to look on our cough
medicine bottles. "Youwillfind
that ingredient often in cough syr¬
ups.” He told that our colonial fore¬
fathers would take all of the

leaves and root and boil it down
into a syrup—and an effective
cough syrup!

For many years as you enter
Matey Woods you will findacol-
ony of Cotsfootplants just before
you enter the nature preserve. This

delions arrive. The leaves resemble
a colts foot Hence the name.

Did Bert say “pertussis” orwasit
just “tussis?" I am not sure. The sci¬
entific name for coltsfoot is

Tussilagi farfara. It is derived from
the Latin tussis, meaning cough
and ago, meaning to act on. Bert
was right about coltsfoot and its
medicinal use.

Look for our “dandelion-like
coltsfoot this spring.

Band will kick things
off at Bell Tower

The much anticipated new Bell
Tower Sanctuary Centre for the Arts
in downtown Bridgeburg will open
it's doors May 23 and Canadian band
Hollerado will kick things off as the
performers of the venue’s first show.

founder of the Bell Tower, at 575 Cen¬
tral Ave, said it was an easy choice to
go with the Ottawa based rock band.

“Hollerado has played the Sanc-

id put o

great show and they are great guys
and a lot of fun,” explained Pizzi¬
carola, "They're exploding up the
charts and appeal to the age demo-

show at the Bell Tower.”

The band is coming off a year in the
studio creating their newest album
111 Songs. The album’s title isn't figu¬
rative; the band actually recorded 111
songs in studio, each with a different
sound and meaning to it

“When we did our last album
(White Paint) we did a bundle where
you could get a t-shirt and a CD and
if you paid an extra 10 bucks you
would get a custom song about your¬
self. Ten bucks what a deal.” Versteeg

the best deal for us though because it
took us a ton of time and money to
get it done. But we did and looking
back on it it's a pretty fond memory.”

“Every day we would go grab a
coffee, sit in Tim Hortons and say
what did we get ourselves into. Then
we would head to the studio and

“It’s awesome, it's honestly such
an honour because last time we
were there it was great. The staff
and the crowd were amazing”

The venue itself is every bit as
unique as the band, which spent the
entire month of February in 2009
touring, playing 28 shows in 28 days.

“Buildings are not built this way
anymore, that’s what makes them
unique,” said Pizzicarola. “This is a
historical building in the down¬
town core, the spaces in the build¬
ing are very unique.”

Pizzicarola said he hopes the Bell
tower in Bridgeburg does the same
thing the Sanctuary did for Ridgeway,
which has been a destination for peo¬
ple to see "great and hugely talented
musicians in a small boutique venue”

The Bell tower will hold approxi¬
mately 250 people for the Hol¬
lerado show, but musical acts are
just the tip of the iceberg, accord¬
ing to Pizzicarola, they’ll offer
much more to the community.

“There will be an art gallery, kids
summer art camps and classes. It will
be an event centre and a host for
concerts.” In addition, residents run¬
ning start up businesses or residents
that run businesses out of their home
could find use for the Bell Tower.

“We are also developing a co¬
working studio space where creative
businesses and artisans will work
under one roof. The idea is to make
affordable office space where there
are individual studios for rent by the
day, month or year and shared
space for the business collective
such as a conference room, meeting
room, print room and lounge with
kitchenette,'’ said Pizzicarola.

Tickets for Hollerado are $17
doors will open at 8 p.m. with the

Halo Canadian Club marks half-century of tradition

The community is invited to help
members of the Italo Canadian
Club to mark half a century during
a gala dinner and dance on Satur¬
day, May 30.

“We’re the only heritage group in
the community to have a club in
Fort Erie,” said club member Nino
D’Ambra.

“With this celebration, we hope
to keep our traditions alive in the

Armondo Nigro, a member of the
Italo Canadian Club, came to Can¬
ada in July 1961. When he arrived,
he was struck by how different
Canadian culture is from Italian

“In Italy, everyone socialized.

There would be a large square that
people would gather but when we
arrived here, we didn't have that”

It took years after Nigro arrived,
but with die help from Mends and
other members of die community,
the Italo Canadian Club was built in
June 1965.

“Not many people realize that
members of the Italo Canadian
Club have done a lot of work for the
community,” Nigro said.

The club hosts monthly pasta
nights with proceeds going to vari¬
ous charities. The organization also
sponsors minor sports program
and community projects and is
home to Garrison little Theatre.

In the early days, the club had 70
members and that number bal¬
looned to more than 200 members
during the 1980s and 1990s.

But that number has dwindled
again as the club’s members have
moved away or died.

Nigro said he would like to

"Everyone in the community is
invited,” he said. “No matter what
culture, everybody is welcome.”

Nigro said he would like to see
the club become a community cen¬
tre for not Just the Italian commu¬
nity, but for everyone.

What: They will celebrate
the 50th anniversary of the
Italo Canadian Club.

The litde church’s roots
begin in Niagara-on-the-
Lake, with the arrival of
Reverend Robert Addi¬
son in Niagara.

Addison was commis¬
sioned to come to Nia¬
gara in 1792 to serve 800
families scattered across
the district of Nassau,
starting at Forty Mile
Creek on Lake Ontario,
extending to Niagara and
along the river to Fort
Erie.

As there were no
churches in the area dur-

rode about the district,
conducting services at

any location available to
him. He conducted ser¬
vices at Old Fort Erie, at
the home of John Stanton
and at Kirby's Mill. Addi¬
son went on to become
rector of St. Mark’s Angli-

Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Under new leadership,
Reverend John Ander-

rally

became the first rector of
St. Paul’s Anglican
Church, saw the need for

the needs of the Town.

One acre of land was
purchased from Charles
Hibbard and the building
was constructed at 2251
Ridgemount Rd. near
Bowen Road.

Anderson served as the
church’s first rector. A

known as 'The Good
Shepherd Window’ was
installed behind the altar
to honour his memory.

In 1910, the chancel

church hall, where the
congregation once
organized community
plays, was constructed in
1957.

PUBLIC NOTICE

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE
UNDER ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT
Ironwood Tree at Ridgeway Battlefield Park

TAKE NOTICE that upon recommendation of the Town’s Municipal Heritage Standing
Committee, the Municipal Council of the Town of Fort Erie intends to designate the
Ironwood Tree at Ridgeway Battlefield Park as a Heritage Tree, under Section 29 of
the Ontario Fleritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter 0.18, as amended as being of cultural
heritage value or interest for its design, historical, and contextual value.

Under the guidelines a tree can be considered for designation if it meets one of the criteria
in a significant way. There are few Ironwood trees of this age, particulariy standing out in

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest

This old Ironwood Tree is one of the few of its age standing alone in the open on public
lands and accessible to the residents of Fort Erie. More importantly, core testing of the
tree put its age at Circa 1866 at the time of the Fenian Raids that occurred at Ridgeway
Battlefield Park. It stands today as a reminder of the important battle and historical event
in Fort Erie.

On June 2,1866 Fort Erie was invaded by the Fenian Army. These Irish Civil War veterans
intended to hold Upper Canada “hostage” and use this position to negotiate Ireland’s
freedom from Britain.

A consequence of these battles was that residents throughout Upper and Lower Canada
realized that they could not rely on Britain for protection, giving support to the growing
movement for Confederation. Canada became a country one year later.

The Battle of Ridgeway is the first battle of the modern Canadian Armed Forces; the first
casualty of the modem forces was here in Ridgeway; and a catalyst to Confederation
happened at Ridgeway Battlefield Park. Some historians call this “The Battle that made
Canada - Canada."

Any person may, within thirty (30) days after the date of the publication of this Notice of
Intention to Designate, serve on the Clerk of the Town of Fort Erie, a Notice of Objection
setting out the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts. If such a Notice of Objection
is received, the Town of Fort Erie shall refer the matter to the Review Board for a hearing
and report. However, any person who has served a Notice of Objection may withdraw
the objection at any time before the conclusion of the hearing into the matter by serving a
Notice of Withdrawal on the Clerk and the Review Board. Where no Notice of Objection
is served, the Council shall consider a by-law to designate the aforesaid property on June
15,2015.

Further information respecting the proposed designation is available by contacting David
Heyworth, Manager, Land Use Policy, of the Town of Fort Erie at (905) 871-1600, Ext.

Council hits the brakes on bus plan

Rob Houle

Postmedia Network

A Region committee’s
decision to not take a neces¬
sary step toward an inter¬
municipal transit system is a
disappointment to one of its
biggest backers.

Former regional council¬
lor Debbie Zimmerman
called it a "historic moment”
when Niagara Region’s pub¬
lic works committee voted in
September to remove the
words “pilot project” from
an inter-municipal system
and to build toward a per¬
manent one.

For the Region to start up
such a system requires a
so-called triple majority -
a majority of those on

local councils (seven of 12)
that represent a majority of

^OnThursday, the
Region's committee of the

staff working toward getting
that triple majority, with a
motion by Port Colborne
regional Coun. David
Barrick.

His plan puts the initia-

asking the municipalities of
Welland, St. Catharines and
Niagara Falls and their
transit commissions to
work together on a new

municipalities.

“Disappointing, holy
Hannah!” Zimmerman said

Monday afternoon.

“The fundamental debate

engaging people to support
getting GO Transit (trains),
but how do we do that

seamless system?”

The Region has been

transit under a pilot project
started in 2011. In it, grants
are provided to Niagara’s
three main transit opera¬
tors - St. Catharines Tran¬
sit, Niagara Falls Transit,
Welland Transit — to pro¬
vide the service.

The pilot was to last three

September.

A report to council

mapped out strategy staff
was prepared to undertake
to get the triple majority.

The strategy included two
presentations to each of
Niagara’s 12 communities.
The first would give an
overview of inter-municipal

transit and get feedback on
what a bylaw creating the

second meeting would be
to present the bylaw devel¬
oped with their input and
to ask for support.

But approval of Barrick’s
motion put that on hold.

The fundamental
debate here has
been we’ve been
engaging people to
support getting GO
Transit (trains),
but how do we do
that when we
don’t have a
seamless system?

— Debbie Zimmerman,
former Niagara regional

He and Niagara Falls
Mayor Jim Diodati said they
favoured the connectivity
models currently in place
with certain municipalities
-- Port Colborne pays
Welland Transit to run a
bus to Port, while Fort Erie

with St. Catharines Transit.

Diodati said he and the
mayors of Welland and St.
Catharines and their transit
commissions have had
ongoing, informal discus-
is for years about pro-

cussed was rather than
forcing transit and forcing
(municipalities) to pay for a
service that maybe they
don’t want or can’t afford,
that we would do it as a ser¬
vice that you pay for,” Dio¬
dati said, using Grimsby as

serviced by St. Catharines

He said that model can
be employed as “the system
grows and matures into a
full system.”

"Eventually *j one day
this will become one great
big system. It's a big

geography and not enough
demography and until it all
comes together, that’s in
the future. But until that
time, I think it’s a natural

“We're not talking about
eliminating regional

service “j we’re just saying
it’s a different approach --
the communities that want
it can pay."

Diodati said the triple
majority is “never going to
happen. So that's just a
waste of time and waste of

energy.”

While hopeful Barrick’s
motion will be rejected at
next week's regional coun¬
said a single-fare system is
integral to moving people
around Niagara.

“To abandon a single¬
fare box is just silly, at this
stage,” she said. “A single
fare-box is what makes it
easy for people to travel
through the region.”

Communities-in-Bloom is committed to fostering civic
pride, environmental responsibility and beautification
through community involvement and the challenge of a
national program, with a focus on enhancing green
spaces in communities.

***"***,****

'People, plants and pride...
growing together'

Communities-in-Bloom was created in 1995 with Britain in
Bloom, Tidy Towns of Ireland and Villes et Villages Fleuris de
France providing guidance.

That first year, 29 municipalities participated and were
honoured at the awards ceremony held on Parliament
Hill. Now, 20 years later, hundreds of communities
across Canada are part of Communities in Bloom. An
inter-national challenge also now exists with communities from
the USA, Asia and several European countries joining in.

How Does It Work?

Communities receive information and are evaluated either
provincially or nationally by a volunteer panel of trained
experts on the activities and achievements of their whole
community (municipal, private, corporate and institutional
areas, citizens) based on 8 key criteria: Tidiness, Environmental
Action, Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry, Landscape, Turf
& Groundcovers, Floral Displays and Community Involvement.
Why do It?

It generates pride, a sense of community and feelings
of accomplishment in communities all over Canada -
this makes Communities in Bloom a program where
every-one wins.

Communities can benefit economically through community
tourism projects and business opportunities as well as other
related developments. It also creates a valuable information
exchange network, allowing communities to share successes,
best practices and projects.

All member communities are showcased on the Communities
in Bloom website ("Explore our Communities" section) with a
description pageand linkto their individual community website.
The Communities in Bloom Magazine highlights participants
and their pro-grams and results. It is published twice a year and
includes articles and educational material.

Communities in Bloom continues to influence by developing
initiatives and promotional opportunities with its numerous
partners and sponsors.

Communities in Bloom has come a long way in a relatively short
time and has made a huge impact on a lot of communities. As
we move forward, may this great program continue to be at
the forefront of engaging us all and helping to further enhance
people, plants and pride...growing together!

Cheers to the next 20 years!

coordinator at the Fort
Erie Public Library.

"For some families, that
story is recent and for oth¬
ers, that story is old.”

Roebuck knows just how
important a quilt can be and
how it can share a story with
generations to come.

"My son is a transportation
nut and when he was little eve¬
ryone in my family chose to
make a square that would
become part of a quilt for him.”

One relative made a patch
with sailboat on it while
another made a patch with a
wagon and before Roebuck
knew it, her entire family
helped to create a quilt for her

“I had pieces of the quilt
come from family across the
U.S. and even our new neigh¬
bour in Canadamakeapatch.”

Roebuck is encouraging

quilts to attend Quilts: The Sto¬
ries They Tell.

The full day event is a joint
partnership with the Bertie

50 Fort Erie Times • Thursday, May 14,2015

In loving memory of a dear
husband, father, and grandfather
who passed away May 13, 2010.
We can hardly believe that it’s
been five years since you left this
world. You are never forgotten as
you are always in our hearts and
memories that we will cherish for¬
ever. Thinking of you telling jokes
up in heaven makes us laugh.

Love Josephine, Amalia
